Chapter 307 Interesting facts about wasteland ([-])

On the way to the wasteland, Li Xin and his party took a detour to Xinzhuangzi.Although this Zhuangzi was bought, in fact, Li Xin's family didn't put too much energy into it, and they didn't pay much attention to it on weekdays.

After all, the fields in this Zhuangzi are cultivated by tenants, so Li Xin doesn't need to worry too much.The various seeds at home have also been reserved for the Zhuangzi here, and corn and so on have also been planted.If it looks like sweet potatoes, someone sent some over a few years ago, and they have been bred a long time ago, so it is very convenient to plant them.

Li Xin and the others didn't stay here too long, so they turned around, had a meal here, and then left.

After leaving Zhuangzi, I didn't stop much along the way, and went straight to the wasteland.By the time Li Xin and the others arrived, the wasteland was already in a different situation.

Compared with when Li Xin left years ago, more land has been reclaimed, and the construction of the long embankment is also very fast, and it has already been built for a long time.

There are still a lot of people who come here to do things, and it is in full swing, it is really very lively.The people in the surrounding villages, as long as they are busy with the things at home, still like to come here to do things, and they can earn more money for the family.

After all, people who don't have a craft can't find any work to do even in the off-season.But as long as you are a rural person, who can't do the thing of reclaiming wasteland!
"It's really lively!" Yueting watched with a smile.

"Let's find a place to live first!" Li Xin said with a smile, and then led everyone to find a place to live.

She, Yin Liuchen and others had been here before, and they still went to live in the house from before.The quilts and everything are still here and have not been taken away.Those who have never been here before should arrange their accommodation carefully, Yuexiang and Yueting still share a room with her.That is to say, Caiyun, Caixia, and Ding Rong need to make some arrangements.

Now a lot of houses have been built here, so there is no need to worry about not having a place to live.

There are not many people who work here and live here. They are usually from nearby villages, not very far away, so they can go home and live.That is to say, it is a little far away, and running back and forth is too troublesome and a waste of time. For such a person, Wang Fu and his wife will arrange a house to live in if they think it is suitable.

The reclaimed land gradually increased, and Wang Fu and his wife were also busy recruiting some tenants.After all, it is obviously unrealistic to keep so much land for self-growing.If so much land is not rented out, some servants will be bought to cultivate it, but too many people are needed, and it is really difficult to handle it for a while.

On the contrary, it is more convenient to recruit tenants. Families with less land but more labor can rent some land to plant, so that they can harvest more in a year.

At the beginning of planting, other crops are not planted first, it is better to mainly plant rice first.Li Xin made some plans, but it would be good to dig some ponds and raise fish and shrimp.You can also plant some lotus roots. The lotus is full of treasures.Not to mention lotus leaves and lotus flowers, even lotus roots and lotus seeds are worth a lot of money.

The saline-alkali land has only been reclaimed and cannot be cultivated as dry land. It is better to always have a lot of water in the fields.

After assigning rooms to everyone, they all went to tidy up their rooms. Even Li Xin, Yin Liuchen and the others hadn't been here for such a long time, so they still needed to tidy up their rooms.The bedding and the like should also be taken out to dry in the sun. These things that have not been used for a long time will be more comfortable to use after drying with the smell of sunshine.

"This place is really big! I can't even look at it." Yuexiang was talking to Li Xin while drying the quilt.

"This is only a small place that can be seen! If you walk all the way along the Zhuojiang River, it really takes a long time." Li Xin said with a smile.The wasteland here is better than the place!When all the land is reclaimed, there will be a lot of production in a year, even if only rice is planted, there will still be a lot of grain in a year.

"It's really such a big piece of land! When the eldest sister said it before, she didn't see it, and she couldn't imagine how big it would be. Now it looks really amazing."

"Sister, can I find someone to play with?" Yue Ting tugged at Li Xin's sleeve from behind.

"Who are you going to play with? You don't know anyone here! And there are no children here, even if there are children coming, they still have to do things. I definitely don't have time to play with you." Li Xin rubbed Rubbing Yueting's head.Adults usually come here to do things, and rarely come with children.

Even if you bring a child, the child will not be particularly young, most of them are around ten years old, and they can help adults do things together.

Because the reclamation of wasteland is shared by no one, and the amount of money will be given after reclaiming a piece of land, so it is actually possible for the whole family to do this work together.

"Why is it like this! There are no friends to play with." Yue Ting was a little unhappy.It seems that there are not many friends wherever she goes. When she was young, she lived in Osmanthus Village, and few people interacted with her family. Naturally, she didn't have any friends.It's better to go to Zhuangzi to play, because there are many children playing with Zhuangzi.

"Don't be upset, I'll take you for a walk around! How about we dig wild vegetables on the mountain and eat them?" Li Xin suggested.Last year, the family went out for a picnic once, but this year there is no such opportunity.

It was late enough to come back from the capital, and Wen Bo and Wen Hao naturally had to go to the academy earlier, so they couldn't play anymore.Therefore, no one mentioned going out for a picnic this year. After all, there are too few people and it is not fun.

However, you don't have to go to the picnic, but you can find some wild vegetables to eat.In the season of spring, there should be a lot of fresh and tender wild vegetables growing in the mountains.The forest is indeed a good place, where you can dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms. In fact, there are really many good things.

"Okay! Sister, are we going to have a picnic? I still want to eat beggar chicken and barbecue." Yue Ting cheered up, Yue Ting, girl!Everything else is fine, when it comes to food, it's like a treasure.

"There are too few of us, so we won't go for a picnic, let's find some food and come back! The fresh and tender wild vegetables are still delicious. As for all kinds of meat, there must be a lot in the kitchen. You want to eat Just go and have a look! Pick some out.”

"Okay, then I'll pick something to eat." Yueting responded and ran to the kitchen.Before the house was built, there was no kitchen, and all meals were cooked in the open air.But there is no need to worry about what to do when it rains. When it rains, everyone will definitely not brave the heavy rain to reclaim the land.

If no one came, there would be only Wang Fu and his wife here, so it would be fine to cook something casually.

Later, the house gradually built up a lot, so a special kitchen was also built. The kitchen is still very spacious. After all, there are many people who come and help in the kitchen. If the kitchen is too narrow, it will be too crowded. .So now there is a big kitchen here, and there are still a lot of vegetables in it.

Although only one lunch is served here in the wasteland, it is relatively rich.For most people, only one lunch is provided, but for those who live here, three meals a day are provided.As long as people who come here live for free, you don't have to pay too much for food, which is still very cost-effective.

Yueting went to the kitchen to look for ingredients, and Li Xin was also going to dig wild vegetables, which were actually just a small hoe and a bamboo basket.When her side was ready, Yue Ting had already found a basket of ingredients and came back. Li Xin looked through them briefly, and found that there were many kinds of meat dishes, including fish and pork.

The people in the kitchen have cut it carefully, and if you want to grill it, you can grill it directly.

After sending the ingredients into the house, the three sisters went out to dig wild vegetables.

"Sister, but there is no chicken, we can't eat beggar chicken." Even though there are a lot of ingredients, Yue Ting still has some regrets.

"You're really not satisfied. It's good to have so much food. If you want to eat chicken, it's not easy! When can you tell the buyer to buy it, or tell the worker to bring the chicken. Many people raise chickens, and it’s the same to buy them. It’s just that you can’t eat them today, so I’m just thinking about them!”

"It's different. I usually eat chicken, but my eldest sister doesn't make beggar's chicken."

"Okay, I promise you, I'll get someone to buy chicken and make it for you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" Li Xin persuaded.

Anything is fine, as long as you cook it often, it won't feel so delicious if it's too ordinary.Therefore, food like Beggar Chicken will not always be cooked, that is, it will be cooked only at specific times.The main thing is beggar chicken, which is clean when cooked in the wild. If it is roasted in your own garden, it will feel a little strange.

"It's a pity that the second brother is not here, otherwise I can hunt pheasants on the mountain to eat. The second brother made me a slingshot, but I can't hunt chickens."

"It's useless even if your second brother is here. People are always coming and going in these places. Even if there are pheasants, they would have already left. How can we wait for you to hunt them! Let's find some wild vegetables!"

There are really a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, and you don't need to climb the mountains, you can find a lot of them at the foot of the mountains.It is not a barren year now, and there are not many people who can dig wild vegetables to eat, so it is easy to find a lot of wild vegetables.After all, digging wild vegetables is a waste of time. Many people's vegetable gardens are in front of and behind the house, and they can get vegetables casually, which is much more convenient than digging wild vegetables.

Soon a lot of wild vegetables were dug up, and there were many kinds, including mother-in-law diced, shepherd's purse, houttuynia cordata, bracken and purslane.

The fresh wild vegetables are fresh and tender, which is very gratifying to look at.Seeing that a lot of wild vegetables had been dug up, the three sisters went back.
